How to format html table with inline styles to look like a rendered Excel table?

I'm currently stuck setting borders in an html table. (I use inline styles for a better rendering in e-mail-clients) I have this piece of code:

<html>
    <body>
        <table style="border: 1px solid black;">
            <tr>
                <td width="350" style="border: 1px solid black ;">
                    Foo
                </td>
                <td width="80" style="border: 1px solid black ;">
                    Foo1
                </td>
                <td width="65" style="border: 1px solid black ;">
                    Foo2
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr style="border: 1px solid black;">
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar1
                </td>
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar2
                </td>
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar3
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr style="border: 1px solid black;">
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar1
                </td>
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar2
                </td>
                <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    Bar3
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </body>
</html>

It is rendered like this: alt text

I want the table to be rendered like Excel would render a table, with inner and outer border: alt text

This is quick-and-dirty (and not formally valid HTML5), but it seems to work -- and it is inline as per the question:

<table border='1' style='border-collapse:collapse'>

No further styling of <tr>/<td> tags is required (for a basic table grid).
